For my little corner of memory hotplug, we could seriously use some more testing of the patch set that we're working on. It's in its infancy, quite immature and could use a much wider variety of testing, even with all of our config options off. As Matthew Wilcox noted, "hotplug memory still needs a lot of work." It's known to break some things like DISCONTIGMEM and NUMA badly, and probably also breaks all of the architectures that we haven't been working with. Patches to fix any of these or any other issues would be very welcome. If this is something you are interested in, please check with the people on lhms-devel@lists.sourceforge.net before doing too much work. You wouldn't want to duplicate something that anyone else is currently developing. For now, the latest patch can be found here: http://sprucegoose.sr71.net/patches/ Beware, that's not a permanent location. But, I'll certainly send mail out of it ever changes. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
